 From recent report it appears that the number of German workpeeple increased in the fifteen districts for which the reports are published from 596, 561 in 1884 to 642, ,386, being an increase of B, ,496, or 7.7 per cent. of males, and 12,329, or 7.6 per cent. of females. The industries in which the chief increase took place were textiles, food, wood and carving. There was great decrease in the number employed in mining. In some districts there was great lack of employ ment, while farmers were complaining that they could not find Iaborers to do their work. In Bavaria, in 29.4 per cent. of all industries, the hours of labor were from eleven and quarter to sixteen hours daily, in 59.6 per cent. from ten to eleven hours, and in the remainder from eleven down to five hours. The last named time applied only to the work of putting quicksilver on the backs of looking glasses. Excessively long hours pre- vail in breweries, where they are never less than sixteen hours day. In the Dusseldorf district nearly forty manufacturers of textiles have agreed to keep the working day within twelve hours.

lFrom "A Swallows Wing,'' Tale of Adventure in China by Charles Hannen.l
 He was placed at the foot of the tree and
 bound to it in sitting posture with ropes which surrounded his body and the trunk of the tree. His left arm was bound to his side. not too tightly so that it should be numbed, but still securely so that it might not be moved. When they had tied him firmly and fixed his feet, the attendant who had followed Shan-minyuen approached and uncovered that which he carried, and which Norris now saw to be rough cage with a white bird of large size inside. One of the priests bent and assisted the man, and to- gether they bound the bird by the chain around it's leg. So they left him thus, with the bird at his feet; and Norris gradually returned to 1ife-to exist through these hours which were the most terrible of alto live through that night, God knows how, and to greet the dawn in the noekery of his soul, and still to wait for the time to come. Thus it was with him on the morning when Vaus- combe and Chin-chin- n-wa set out for the Tenn pie of Confucius: and as they were nearing the gates a dull leaden stupor descended upon the man who only waited, alone in that courtyard, with the bird chained at his feet, until the last moment of his agony should come. At last it came, for the bird, inn pelled by hunger, bent down at length and caught the flesh of Norris toe in his beak, half wondering perhaps if this was food to eat. The mans shrieks rose through the air, and the bird Q second time, and more greedi- ly, bent forward to taste his blood and as its overlapping beak met in his flesh last great cry came from him, and again, as was so often the case, the whole world passed away in darknessI
 At that moment the temple door opened and Chin-chin-wa looked down upon the scene. The strong mans heart filled with agony-a pain which only the strong heart such as his can feel in it's fullness, and this agony dwelling iIl him yet stilled him, for he

REFORM FOR BOSTON.

Citizens associations have done good work in a number of the cities of this country dur ing the last ten years, and not few impor- tant and apparently permanent reforms have been brought about by them. It seems to be the only way to check the progress of the fringe"
 A citizens association has just been form ed in Boston, and it's programme is an inter- esting and worthy one. It aims to promote ''an honest, efficient and economical admin= istration of municipal and county affairs, :" both by inducing citizens and taxpayers to take a more active interest in them, and by furnishing an accurate and non partisan ac- count of the manner in which the city is gov erned, and the conduct of public servants, by encouraging faithful and exposing un~ faithful performance of official duties, and by advocating legislation necessary or proper for securing it's purpose" In order to do all this most important and useful work the as sociation, through committees and other agencies especially assigned for the duty, will keep careful watch over the expendi- lures of public money, the making and per formance of contracts, the purchase of sup pAAcs anu LnabSI4dl3 anu buo JaS5dSo OL AASdS- ures by the city council They will seek, by prompt exposure, to prevent illegal, fraudu- lent, or improper payments from the city or county treasury, will investigate official mis- conduct and endeavor to bring to punish ment the guilty officials, and in various other ways will try to keep the people of the city accurately informed concerning the manner in which their government is carried on. It 'smay also publish information relating to candidates, and may oppose the election of any candidate whose defeat may appear to be demanded in the public interest"
 Already the association has more than one hundred members, among whom are Charles Francis Adams, William Gaston, Alexander H. Rice, Henry L. Pierce, A. W. Beard, Charles F. Bowditch, N. J. Bradlee, James M. Bugbee, William Endicott, jr., Hamilton A. Hill, Charles R. Goldman, George G. Crocker, Thomas N. Hart, Otis Norcross, Francis A. Walker and Francis A. Osborn. Success to it.
